There is a version of AtomicParsley which tags the 'longDescription'
field. I have a modified version of AtomicParsley which allows this
and have a small patch which allows this tag to be added if the
version supports it. Here's the patch to allow it. Line numbers may
vary due to the other patches I've added recently.
